ADTRAN T200 FNID specifications DSL Deployment Guidelines, Table D. Loop Insertion Loss Data

6. DSL DEPLOYMENT GUIDELINES

The ADTRAN FT1 DSL system is designed to provide Fractional DS1-based services over loops designed to comply with Carrier Service Area (CSA) guidelines. CSA deployment guidelines are given below.

1. All loops are non-loaded only.

2.For loops with 26-AWG cable, the maximum loop length including bridged tap lengths is 9 kft.

3.For loops with 24-AWG cable, the maximum loop length including bridged tap lengths is 12 kft.

4.Any single bridged tap is limited to 2 kft.

5.Total bridged tap length is limited to 2.5 kft.

6.The total length of multi-gauge cable containing 26-AWG cable must not exceed 12Ê-Ê{(3*L26)/9}Ê-ÊLBTAP(inÊkft)

L26	=	Total length of 26-AWG cable
		excluding bridged taps (in kft)
LBTAP	=	Total length of all bridged taps (inÊkft)

This deployment criteria is summarized in the chart shown in Figure 13.

10,000	15.0

An approximation for the maximum amount of wideband noise on a DSL local loop as measured by a 50 kbps filter is ≤ 31 dBrn.

An approximation for the maximum level of impulse noise as measured using a 50 kbps filter on an DSL loop is ≤ 50 dBrn.

These approximations are to be used as guidelines only and may vary slightly on different loops. Adhering to the guidelines should produce performance in excess of 10-7ÊBER.
